Summary:

Apologies to Mattera-san for picking on him in particular, but this is a
good example of how *not* to submit a synopsis form.

Synopses should be sent seperately from the fic itself, and they should
be sent directly to the synopses list people at <mhc8@pantheon.yale.edu>
-- not to FFML. This is so that all the synopses can be posted together,
giving readers a single weekly post to refer to instead of making them
chase through dozens of seperate posts.

As for how to get the archive number of your fic, it appears in a line
in the header of the fic when it is sent out by FFML. For example, this
fic contains the line

X-Mailing-List: <fanfic@fanfic.com> archive/latest/50783

Thus it has archive number 50783. Note that you CANNOT get the archive
number until the fic has actually been sent out by the FFML.
